LEMON, GINGER, HONEY

LEMON, GINGER, HONEY

Drinking ginger, lemon, honey water offers a powerful combination of health benefits. Drank first thing in the morning it helps the liver to flush out unwanted toxins. Sipped throughout the day this tonic supports vital hydration. Ginger aids digestion, reduces inflammation, and boosts immunity, while lemon provides vitamin C, alkalizes the body, and supports detoxification. Honey adds natural antioxidants, and provides a gentle energy boost. Together, this drink strengthens the immune system, improves digestion, and kickstarts metabolism, making it a perfect way to start the day feeling refreshed and energised.

Food Fact: Lemons and limes contain micro mineral salts that break down pathogens such as unproductive bacteria, mold, yeast, and fungus to help protect your liver’s immune system.

For our older children/teenagers with skin ailments, ginger, lemon, honey water can be a fabulous addition to a daily routine to promote healing from the inside-out. Ginger has properties that help fight acne, reduce redness, and promote a healthy glow. Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which boosts collagen production, brightens the skin, and helps flush out toxins for a clearer complexion. Honey is a natural humectant and contains antibacterial properties, which can keep the skin hydrated and prevent breakouts.

Don’t have a juicer, no problem, you can blend / squeeze and/or grate your way to prepare this recipe. To save time you can bulk prepare – I personally make up 6 batches at a time, so we can enjoy it throughout the week. You can store in a tightly sealed container (I like a glass mason jar) and refrigerate what you don’t use.
